The recent continuous rain in Korea caused a fatal accident at the Suan Gold Mines in Whanghai-do. On Friday, August 16, while a number of miners were at work in one of the pits, the earth suddenly collapsed and a large quantity of earth fell upon them. According to the "Seoul Press," seven of the Korean miners were buried underneath, but were fortunately rescued by other miners. An English engineer who happened to be present sustained severe injuries from this accident, and in spite of treatment promptly given, died a few hours after. The burial of the unfortunate miner took place at Pyongyang.
